Details	In this project, we analyzed the process of evaluation of literature starting from the work of Swiss writers Robert Walser and Friedrich Glauser in a multidimensional way and discussed the topic beyond ages, media and cultural spheres. Through the workshops and symposiums held on behalf of this project, we gained insight into processes such as the formation and development of literature evaluation, the transformation of literary genres through media, translation between cultures, and adaptations, including aspects of the relevance to society and literary circle. Clear insight was gained in literary creation and the close connections of literary criticism and evaluation.
